According to Jinse Finance APP, Deutsche Bank (DB.US) is considering selling its retail banking assets in India and has invited both domestic and overseas lenders to participate in the bidding, according to two sources.

The sources said Deutsche Bank has set August 29 as the deadline for multiple banks to submit non-binding offers to acquire its retail assets in India. It is not yet clear what the specific details of any potential offers are. The bank's valuation of its Indian retail business has also not been clarified.
Relevant disclosures show that Deutsche Bank's retail banking business in India generated revenue of $278.3 million for the fiscal year ending March 2025.
